For those who feel that a simple temple tour is not enough.
This activity is not “sightseeing” but "experience.
You will experience a day in the life of a monk, including changing clothes, cleaning, sutra copying, gomagyo, zazen, vegetarian cooking, and more...
It is like turning on the switch to a “life in training mode,” and you will experience an extraordinary experience.
Moreover, the “Goma Gyogyo” in which fire dances in the silence and the time spent facing oneself through sutra chanting are such profound “self resetting” experiences that they cannot be posted on
SNS.
Interpreters will be provided, so you don't need to speak anything but English.
This is a chance to dive into authentic Buddhist culture in its entirety!
This is a limited number of participants and a very popular experience, so reserve your spot now!
